Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam that’s what came to my mind when I first read about Cloud Computing which is often described as the “the ultimate form of globalization”. Although, claiming it to the ultimate form might appear to be an over statement but it actually makes sense when you dig down deep into it.
I attended a CloudCamp (un)conference by Open Group yesterday at Marriott yesterday and was able to clear some of my misconceptions about cloud computing. There were experts on cloud computing from different walks of life (industry). For starters ,
CloudCamp is an unconference where early adapters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions.
That takes me to the frequently asked question “What the Heck is Cloud Computing ?” . Well, there is lot of information on the sweet old internet about it and I wont do a COPY-PASTE of same information here.
In a nulshell Cloud computing can be defined as “centralizing your IT resources into layers to achieve maximum utilization.” You can basically combine following IT resources to give you a holistic view.
Please wait for second part of this blog to know more about UNdiscussions which took place in this cloud computing camp.
pardon my spelling of perl, but spellcheck is to be blamed for this :-)
